Perfect size gun for personal protection. I find the regular judges too big and cumbersome to maneuver quickly. I am sure the other sized judges are more "fun" or "pleasant to shoot", but this is the one I want for protection.

Finally got to the range to try out my new Judge. Love It! What a gun! Works beautifully and the finish is just as flawless. If you're looking for power with a kick, this is it! And another hassle free purchase from Bud's.

This gun is amazing!!!!!!!! i have wanted a bigger concealable large caliber handgun and heard about the judge and i choose the public defender and im glad i did. so much fun to shoot and very accurate i shot a 1.5 group at 7 yards all center of the target. please note it kicks nicely and the trigger pull is around 12lbs its pretty heavy but i want a heavier pull for my conceal carry.

I am very pleased with my purchase of the Judge Public Defender. I have not shot the gun yet, but the quality is great, customer service was very helpful, and my FFL dealer (Tusculum Repair) were some of the nicest people I have met. Bud's prices are absolutely the best you can find, and they are true professionals that you can trust. I am certain that I will never buy a new gun anywhere else.
